In den Warenkorb4to, 1 p. On piece of watermarked laid paper. Thirteen lines of text. Clear and complete. Good, on aged paper, with thin strip of stub adhering to blank reverse. Docketed at head, in a contemporary hand, '331 | Lord Camelford for fac simile'. Camelford was not at home when Buchan called, but he 'will take care that his Lordship'…s Letter shall be transmitted to Mr Pitt [his cousin William Pitt the younger?]'. Pitt 'will doubtless feel himself flatter'd with his Lordship's testimony in favour of his abilities and fortitude'. There is 'merit' in 'the particular manner by which his present Situation was produced however unfortunate the dilemma may be which has been the consequence of it.'.

In den WarenkorbPoem: On one side of a piece of 12mo paper. Fair, lightly-aged and a little ruckled, with traces of gum from previous mounting on the blank reverse. The 12-line poem is written in heroic couplets, and begins 'POOR, faithful animal, adieu! - | To Nature's kind affection true, | For fourteen years, thy grateful heart, | Devoted, p…lay'd its humble part.' At the end a contemporary hand has ascribed the poem to 'B. B.', and the same hand gives the date as 'September 3d'. No record of the poem has been discovered, and there is no copy listed on COPAC, or in the catalogue of the National Library of Scotland. It is possible that the poem has been removed from a volume, but it is more likely that it is a handbill production of the private press of the eccentric 11th Earl of Buchan. Photograph: Cut into an oval 4.5 cm wide and 6 cm high. Sepia profile image of a pug dog, seated on its hind legs. Lightly stained.

In den Warenkorb3pp., 4to. Addressed, with black wax seal, on reverse of second leaf to 'The Earl of Buchan at Kerkhill | by Edinburgh'. In fair condition, lightly aged. He is 'hardly relieved' from 'a very distressing ophthalmy withh great head-ackes [sic]', but thanks the Earl for 'sending the pamphlet of Dr. Homes on the Croup, for my friend… Monsr. Le Roy, one of ye. Members of ye. Royal Acady. at Paris'. He is sending him the Philosophical Transactions, 'as regularly as they come out, by the indicated way of Mr. Donalson'. The 'Medal of ye late Captn. Cook [.] has not yet been distributed to ye. members', and will be forwarded by Donalson when it is. 'I can not pretend to be better acquainted with ye. literary news, than I can collect by the Letter of yr Lordship. The new theory of heat in general, as amplified, or expanded to a variety of phenomena, as Dr. Crawford has done, seems to be one of ye. most advancing steps towards imrpoving Science'. He has 'given an extract of this in french, to the Public, with some little change in the theory'.

In den Warenkorb3pp., 4to. Bifolium. In good condition, lightly aged, with thin stub from mount neatly adhering. A long, closely written letter of 116 lines, including eight-line postscript at head of first page. Addressed by Dyer on reverse of second leaf: 'To Lord Buchan | Dryburgh Abbey | Berwickshire | Scotland.' Buchan has annotated the re…verse of the second leaf: 'George Dyer | Characteristic | while I reasoned with George Dyer in my Library at Dryburgh Abbey on the Economy of Nature and the Providence of God, I said Heaven itself will one day bear witness to my Words. At the instant there was a flash of Lightning so vivid as to deprive us for a moment of Sight | This [.] subject for Poetry' (latter part obscured by stub). Both men have interesting entries in the Oxford DNB. Dyer's entry stresses his eccentricity, of which the present letter is indeed 'Characteristic'. The main topic is Dyer's obsessive belief that his conversation has in some way offended Buchan and 'given, very undesignedly, some offence to my friends in Scotland'. Dyer also discusses the preparation for publication of privately-printed 'Poems' of 1801, whose 'Ode XXXIX' is titled 'After visiting Dryburgh Abbey, in Berwickshire, the Seat of Lord and Lady Buchan'. The poem carries the following footnote: 'This delightful spot, now the residence of Lord and Lady Buchan, was formerly a monastery. In a part of the chapel are now placed the busts of our English poets. Lord Buchan is well known as a man of letters.' The florid opening paragraph of the letter starts: 'Kind Sir, | It is unpleasant to write, and no less unpleasant to read, letters of apology: they move heavily and leave behind nothing worth remembering. The writer feels like a prisoner at the bar, and if conscious of crime, recollection of civilities received he finds painful, and without waiting for the decision of the judge, he confesses himself worthy of punishment.' The second paragraph sets out Dyer's specific concerns: 'I intended writing to you from Berwick, and to acknowlege [sic] your civilities to me when at Kelso: but I thought it expedient afterwards to defer writing till after I had been at Richmond, more particularly as my mind at the time was quite occupied with poetical reveries though I said nothing on the subject to my ingenious and sensible fellow-traveller. On my arrival in London I expecterd to receive letters from Dr. Anderson [the author and editor Dr Robert Anderson (1750-1830), who like Buchan was a member of the American Antiquarian Society] to be conveyed to [sic] me under cover to James Marten: one was to have been a letter to Park from Dr. Anderson, as a kind of introductory letter. From Park I expected to hear every thing relative to the Richmond business: but I waited in vain for letters, and knew nothing concerning the place for solemnizing the birth-day of Thompson. I was extremely puzzled to account for this silence, and was at length unhappy, fearful, that I had given, very undesignedly, some offence to my friends in Scotland: I have however since recd: letters, perfectly satisfactory, from Dr. Anderson, and others: having, however, no letter to Park, and the birth day of Thompson having passed by unnoticed, I was perplexed and knew not what to say to you.' He gives the gist of a speech made by Buchan 'when I had the pleasure of seeing you at Dryburgh', on the subject of acknowledging the giving of pain by ones words, and confesses: 'Now, Sir, I did recollect having made two speeches of this kind, and though probably you may not recollect them, or indeed might not have noticed them at the time, yet the recollection of them gave pain to me.' He explains at length how he 'wished to apologize', but 'knew not what to say or how to begin'. But now Buchan's 'very civil letter' has 'removed my suspicions [that he has given offence], and increased my respect for you.' Again, he had wished to answer immediately, but could not get a frank: 'I had not an opportunity of getting the name.
